URL Restrictions/Legalities

Posted 15 June 2010 - 06:18 AM

Hi Guys,

Hopefully someone can give me an answer on this, although it may require a legal professionals advice.

If as an example I was to buy the domain name Samsung.co.uk, and I was a distributor of Samsung products, my business was called something TV's and had a Something TV's logo etc... so the only thing Samsung would be the products I sell and the domain. Am I legally ok to do this or could Samsung get upset and take legal action?

Also because Samsung is probably a corporation, that means they have rights on that name and trademark. If you try to register a company(Corporation) under that name they simply won't let you because it has already been taking. Unless you go with a different license for a company and still choose that name, just remember Samsung has money and you probably won't have a cent after there done with you.
